Food science is the application of the basic sciences and
engineering to study the fundamental physical, chemical,
biochemical nature of foods and the principals of
processing.
Food is any substance that, when ingested, usually will
supply nutrients that nourish the body.
Nutrients are the constituents of food i.e. Carbohydrates,
Proteins, Lipids, Vitamins, Minerals and Water.
Processing involves any operation that will alter the value
of food in order to enhance: shelf life, consumer acceptance
and nutrient load.

Nutrition Situation Around the Globe:
Pre-School Children
About 160 million- severely malnourished
13 million- Xerophthalmia
500000 become partially or totally blind each year
Child wasting: low weight for height (a strong predictor of mortality
among children under five)
In 2017, 7.5% (50.5 million) were reported to be affected by wasting
(low weight for height) consequently putting them at a higher risk of
mortality.`
Child stunting: low height for age (impaired growth and development
that children experience from poor nutrition, repeated infection, and
inadequate psychosocial stimulation)
The number of stunted children has shown a slight decline of 9% from
165.2 million in 2012 to 150.8 million in 2017, but still nearly one third
of children under five in the developing world are stunted.

Food is that which nourishes the body. Food may also be defined as
anything ingested to meet the needs for energy, building, regulation and
protection of the body.
Nutrition includes everything that happens to food from the time it is
eaten until it is used for various functions in the body.
Adequate, optimum and good nutrition are expressions used to indicate
that the supply of the essential nutrients is correct in amount and
proportion.
Nutritional status is the state of our body as a result of the foods
consumed and their use by the
body.
Health as the ‘state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and
not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Malnutrition means an undesirable kind of nutrition leading to ill-health.
It results from a lack, excess or imbalance of nutrients in the diet. It
includes undernutrition and overnutrition.
Food Terminology

Primarily there are two main sources of food:
Plants Sources and Animal Sources
Fishes are sometimes treated separately as a third group:
Marine source: All kind of fish.
Plant Sources:
Fruits, vegetables, roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds, nuts,
legumes, pulses, herbs, spices etc.
Animal Sources:
Worldwide numerous species are considered edible.
For Muslims only split-hoofed ruminants and selected birds are

Food Spoilage:
Food spoilage is the process leading to a product
becoming either undesirable or unacceptable for
human consumption (with associated changes
involving alterations in taste, smell, appearance or
texture).
Food spoilage may be caused by a variety of
mechanisms, including microbial, chemical and
physical reactions,
Deterioration:
Detrimental changes in the quality of food.
9/02/2019 Roshina Rabail (FST-101) 89
Mode of Food Spoilage
90.
Microbial spoilage is often due to the growth and/or
metabolism of spoilage bacteria, yeasts or moulds.
Chemical spoilage may be via nonmicrobial enzymic
action, oxidation or non-enzymic browning.
Physical spoilage include water loss; increase in moisture
of dry foods; freezer burn; and recrystallisation of frozen
foods.
Mechanical agents: Insects, pests, rodents, birds.
Autolysis spoilage is caused by auto-change mechanism
in living organisms that can deteriorate food constituents
i.e. over ripening & browing due to oxidation, softening
of fruit pectin by hydrolysis, wilting of leaves,
putrefaction of animal products.
9/02/2019 Roshina Rabail (FST-101) 90
Mode of Food Spoilage
91.
Must be kept in bags/silos because can get
damaged/spoiled if not stored properly
Mechanical agents: Insects, pests, rodents, birds can cause
damage and leave their excreta/sheddings which make
food unfit for health
Physical agents: Loss or gain of moisture during storage
due to temperature change and humidity level in
atmosphere can effect the quality of grains.
Microorganisms: Gain in moisture can facilitate bacteria,
yeast and moulds multiplication producing mycotoxins.
Autolysis: Further gain in moisture can facilitate the
germination of seed.
9/02/2019 Roshina Rabail (FST-101) 91
Mode of Spoilage of Stable Foods:
92.
Must be stored at cool, ventilated places.
Mechanical agents: Insects, pests and rodents can bring
loss in quantity and quality, ultimately open ways for
microbial infestation.
Physical agents: Loss in moisture can lead to shrinkage,
weight reduction.
Autolysis: Enzymatic activities can lead to softening,
sprouting.
Microorganisms: Attack on damaged/softened food
commodities include bacterial soft rot and black mould.
9/02/2019 Roshina Rabail (FST-101) 92
Mode of Spoilage of Semi-Perishable Foods:
93.
Mechanical agents: Insects, pests, rodents and birds can bring
loss in quantity and quality, ultimately open ways for microbial
infestation.
Physical agents: Loss in moisture can lead to shrinkage, weight
reduction, high temperature can leads to wilting.
Autolysis: Most fruits and vegetables got spoiled due to
ripening (a series of complex chemical and biochemical
reactions catalysed by enzymes) which results in softening or
wilting. Fruits and vegetables covered by an insoluble stiff
covering shield made of protopectin which can be
damaged/broken due to ripening/wilting of food.
Microorganisms: Attack on damaged/softened food
commodities. Meat undergoes putrefaction and give off odour,
milk got curdle.

Caused by chemical compounds in food or enzymes
Auto-oxidation in fats and oils
Oxidative rancidity initiated by short wavelength light
Uptake of oxygen by unsaturated systems and changing lipid radicals to
peroxiradicals
Reaction with hydrogen forming hydroperoxides
Critically high cccumulation of hydroperoxides leads to their breakdown
into aldehydes, ketones and acids (orourous/off flavour compounds)
Accelerated by certain metals (copper), light, high temperature
Changes in meat colour
Deteriorative oxidation in meat results in off colour
Oxidation changes myoglobin (purple coloured muscle pigment) to
oxymyoglobin (bright red)
Further oxidation of oxymyoglobin changes it to metmyoglobin (brown
colour)

group from reducing sugar.
Brown nitrogenous polymers are formed
Limits shelf life of various fruits, vegetables and juices
Mostly undesirable nut only desired in roasting nuts, meat, snacks and
some bakery items.
b) Caramelization
The temperature-dependent oxidation of sugar which involves of removal
of water from a sugar (such as sucrose or glucose) followed by
isomerization and polymerisation steps
Used extensively in cooking for the resulting nutty flavor and brown color.
c) Changes in ascorbic acid
Stored fruit juices changes to unfavourable brown colour due to oxidation of
L-ascorbic acid to D-dehydro-ascorbic acid
